ENGINEERING

Are you technically oriented, but also creative and innovative? Do you have exceptional math, science, and computer skills? Do high-tech developments intrigue you? Do you dream of putting your vocational interests and abilities to work for you? If you want to become a professional who works with computers, electronics, or mechanical constructions for the benefit of humanity, a degree in engineering may be the ideal choice for you.

With an engineering degree, you'll be involved with each step in the process of creating, developing, and manufacturing products and services that improve the lives of others. Typically, you'll collaborate with customers, other engineers, computer-aided design software, production personnel, and marketing professionals to turn an idea into a finished product.

A degree in engineering from Andrews University prepares you to choose from a wide variety of employment opportunities - to name a few:

Computing majors are challenged to indentify, formulate,and solve engineering and computing problems, and to design and carry out experiments that will support these solutions. They learn to apply the theories of science, mathematics, engineering, and computing in order to creatively design practical and economical solutions to define problems. They also have the opportunities to advance their disciplines through research and internships, addressing contemporary issues.

Whether you lead research and development teams in a high-tech lab or care for the databases and networking needs of a corporate clientele, Computing is certainly one of the most marketable disciplines in today's fast-paced, technological world.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has actually predicted a workforce crisis over the next decade due to the above average employment growth and a shortage of labor in computer related fields (www.bls.gov). "Computer and information technology occupations are projected to grow by 22 percent, adding 758,800 new jobs from 2010 to 2020" according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook

If you want to be versatile and marketable, Computing is the perfect choice, as one of the most dynamic and applicable fields. It can open up job opportunities in so many different work environments that the selection is often overwhelming. In today's world, it's difficult to find a corporation that does not have a team of computing professionals behind it. A Computing degree, therefore, enables you to work in virtually any field you like.
